It was hypothesized that as temperature increases, the rate of respiration will increase as well. Data in this experiment does not support it fully. As the temperature increased from 0°Celsius to 20°Celsius to 43°Celsius, the rate of respiration increased as well (Figure 4). However, at 74°Celsius, the rate of respiration was at the lowest (Figure 4). Cellular respiration may increase as temperatures increases up to a limit. At 74°Celsius, the temperature may have been too high for the enzymes…
